Capo 3 (F) [Verse] D He looked down into her brown eyes, A And said, "Say a prayer for me". A7 And she threw her arms around him, D Whispered, "God will keep us free". D They could hear the riders coming, G He said, "This is my last fight. D And if they take me back to Texas, A D They won't take me back alive". [Chorus] D There were Seven Spanish Angels, A At the Altar of the Sun. A7 They were praying for the lovers, D In the Valley of the Gun. D And when the battle stopped, and the smoke cleared, G There was thunder from the Throne. D And the Seven Spanish Angels, A D Took another Angel home. [Verse] D She reached down and picked the gun up, A That lay smoking in his hand. A7 She said, "Father, please forgive me, D I can't make it without my man". D And she knew the gun was empty, G And she knew she could not win. D But her final prayer was answered, A D When the rifles fired again. [Chorus] D There were Seven Spanish Angels, A At the Altar of the Sun. A7 They were praying for the lovers, D In the Valley of the Gun. D And when the battle stopped, and the smoke cleared, G There was thunder from the Throne. D And the Seven Spanish Angels, A D Took another Angel home.
